Thank you! Yes, I still am :) - I have received that feedback from another player too, so I will be adding an alert when you've 'removed' a letter if you're using a physical keyboard. I run into this issue too. Life is crazy here, so this particular tweak may not show for a few days

Ah right, thanks for that. Had meant to but some life events a few days ago moved up my launch schedule by a few weeks, will clean that up. Thanks. [update: 95% of the .log() messages are now cleaned up including any spoilers, also fixed some display bugs another tester/player mentioned. I did not force push the change out to everyone's PWAs, but if your new to the game or reload manually, you'll see the newest version]

>> "after you've played, the best way to keep playing is vicariously through others"

so, my (non-evidence-backed) hunch is that part of what made Wordle so viral was that the player, after finishing, could not continue playing - but could _continue the experience_ of the game by sharing it with others. In my mind, if the player could play Wordle many more times in a given day, they would burn out before sharing. All of that said, I do like the idea of maybe putting more puzzles behind a Stripe purchase or something.

Thanks on the bug info, that is helpful

Hey thanks! Yeah, so I have considered that, especially the previous week's puzzles. I am wary of a potential key to wordle's success though, which is--after you've played, the best way to keep playing is vicariously through others

On eBay: yup that's the plan. Their affiliate program has quite generous terms, moreso than Amazon.

On the keyboard issue: sounds like it may be a bug. Did you by chance play the practice round first? Looking into it. [Edit: looks like a display issue for the non-mobile version of the game on certain screen sizes, workin on a fix]

There's a contradiction in your reasoning.

Currently the money required to safeguard the bitcoin network is equal to the cost to electrify a small country like Argentina.

You say users can be shielded from the future transaction fees b/c of Lightning. Ok, well where does the money to safeguard come from if mining blocks produces less and less of it -- and users don't pay fees b/c of Lightning?

Absolutely. Way less janky than Mac's implementation of running iOS apps. While you can use mobile apps on your Windows laptop using native touch controls, on your Mac laptop you have to use that weird trackpad-driven interface. Which would you prefer? https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Mac-m...
